The crowd didn’t believe a word Xu San said. They didn’t dare bet on whether Lin Chen still had any Stone Puppets on him; the benefits Xu San ntioned didn’t tempt them at all. They wanted the Stone Puppets, sure, but one had to be alive to claim them.
Just then, three figures suddenly flew over from the distance, precisely the ones who had been following Lin Chen, Xu Lianyu, Liang Rou, and Mu Shuier.
"Big sister, we’ve finally found you. Junior Brother Lin Chen, why didn’t you tell us when you ca to see big sister? And you ran so fast—we have no idea how you’ve been cultivating. Your cultivation is clearly lower than ours, yet your speed is several tis ours."
As soon as Xu Lianyu arrived, she started to complain at Lin Chen.
However, when she got closer, she noticed that Zhao Yijing’s complexion was awful, and her outfit clearly didn’t fit her. Zhao Yijing was a woman with an exceptionally proud figure, and Lin Chen’s clothes were sowhat tight on her.
Liang Rou and Mu Shuier also noticed this and the three won looked at Lin Chen with puzzled expressions.
"Big sister, how did you get injured?"
As soon as Xu Lianyu noticed Zhao Yijing was injured, she imdiately went up to her and embraced her with a worried look in her watery eyes.
Xu Lianyu and the others were very confused and extrely angry. Who could have injured their big sister? After all, Zhao Yijing had the cultivation of the Second Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm.
"Don’t worry, I’m alright now," Zhao Yijing said, gently rubbing Xu Lianyu’s head.
She clearly knew that Lin Chen hadn’t told the three about the assassins from the Moon Shadow Pavilion to avoid worrying them or inciting them to do sothing foolish.
Therefore, Zhao Yijing could only turn her gaze towards Xu San in the distance.
Seeing this, Xu Lianyu turned her head to look at Xu San.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, why did you use those Stone Puppets to fight Xu San?"
Xu Lianyu, though puzzled by Lin Chen’s actions, rembered that he had gathered the Stone Puppets from the Stone Pillar Plaza earlier. Seeing him take them out now, she naturally assud they were the ones Lin Chen had collected.
As for Lin Chen’s actions, Xu Lianyu was in full support. She had always found Xu San disagreeable back at the Jade Cauldron Sect, but because his cultivation was higher than hers, she never found an opportunity to trouble him.
"Because he deserves to die!"
It wasn’t Lin Chen who replied to Xu Lianyu, but Zhao Yijing, whose eyes now showed a trace of hatred.
Xu Lianyu, noticing this, and recalling the injury on Zhao Yijing, imdiately began to speculate on the possible cause.
"Could it be that big sister’s injuries were caused by him?"
Hearing Zhao Yijing’s words, Xu Lianyu beca extrely angry and made as if to go and teach Xu San a lesson.
But she was stopped by Zhao Yijing. Even with the Stone Puppets distracting Xu San, his power was too great for Xu Lianyu to confront, even if her own cultivation had recovered, and it was not wise to act rashly.
After all, no one knew what extre actions Xu San might take when driven into a corner.
"Alright, let’s let these Stone Puppets keep them company here for a while; we should leave this place first," Lin Chen said after glancing at Xu San and then speaking to Xu Lianyu and the others.
Upon hearing this, although Xu Lianyu didn’t understand why Lin Chen would let Xu San go, seeing that Zhao Yijing and both her second and third sisters agreed with Lin Chen’s decision, she could only consent.
Seeing Lin Chen and the others about to leave, the few disciples from the Jade Cauldron Sect who were following Xu San did not make a move to stop them.
As a joke, the people of Jade Bird Peak were not to be trifled with, and they naturally were not foolish enough to offend Jade Bird Peak for Xu San’s sake.
"Damn it, Lin Chen, you wait for . Once I free myself from these Stone Puppets, I will make you wish you were dead; I rember you,"
Xu San roared at Lin Chen, filled with hatred.
At this ti, his Spiritual Power was on the verge of depletion, but the power of these Stone Puppets showed no signs of weakening.
Just as Xu San was beginning to despair, suddenly several figures appeared; they were also people from the Jade Cauldron Sect.
"Yo, isn’t this Senior Brother Xu San? There are plenty of fortunes to be found in the ruins; why bother exercising your combat skills with these Stone Puppets here?"
Among the newcors, a disciple in a green robe looked at Xu San and joked with a laugh.
Upon hearing these words, Xu San imdiately furrowed his brow and looked up to find that the person who had spoken was Huo Ping, a True Disciple from the Third Peak, whose relationship with Xu San was neither good nor bad and who was known to be a miser.
"Huo Ping, can’t you see I’m trapped by these Stone Puppets?"
"Figure out a way to help escape, and just na your price,"
At this mont, Xu San had no ti to chatter with Huo Ping. Although he had little hope for Huo Ping, he had no choice but to clutch at straws.
"Who would have thought that one of the top ten heroes of our Jade Cauldron Sect would encounter such a plight. Since Senior Brother Xu has asked for help, I will give you a hand,"
Huo Ping spoke indifferently; his Cultivation was only at the Seventh Layer of the lding Earth Realm, but he made such a bold statent.
"Then make your move quickly, thank you, Junior Brother Huo,"
Xu San, not understanding why the other party was so confident, hurriedly urged him on.
"I have here an Earth-grade Low-quality magic treasure, a massive axe that can destroy these Stone Puppets. I can lend it to Senior Brother Xu for use, but it will cost ten thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones. Would you be willing, Senior Brother Xu?"
Huo Ping said lightly, a smile appearing on his face.
Upon hearing this, Xu San felt incredulous that Huo Ping would ask for ten thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones outright. Despite his reluctance, with his Spiritual Power nearly depleted, and facing imminent death at the hands of the Stone Puppets, he had no choice but to agree.
"Alright, Senior Brother Xu is indeed straightforward. Catch the axe!"
As soon as Huo Ping finished speaking, he flung a massive axe, which Xu San quickly caught. He imdiately felt the extraordinariness of the axe in his hands. When he channeled his Spiritual Power into it and swung it around, he cleaved through the eleven Stone Puppets in no ti.
"Thanks, Junior Brother Huo,"
"No need to thank , just pay up, Senior Brother!"
...
While Xu San was escaping from his predicant, Lin Chen, Zhao Yijing, and the others had already traveled far and arrived at a very secluded tree hollow.
"Please guard us, sisters, while I and Elder Sister heal and restore our Spiritual Power,"
Within the tree hollow, Lin Chen laid out several concealed Talisman Inscriptions, then handed over so elixirs to Zhao Yijing, and the two of them began to recover their Spiritual Power under the protection of Xu Lianyu and the other two won.
